  • oxp: delete CRASH entries - how?

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to All on Sun Jan 26 10:27:00 2020
    Hello!

    I have a few FREQ/Crash entries:

    +- Crash call... -----------------------------------------------+
    | R 1:261/38 <<PRISM BBS, Slaterville Springs NY |
    | r 1:261/100 <<PRISM BBS, Slaterville Springs NY |
    | r 2:2/0 Eur (024), B |
    | r 2:2/1003 Zone Pointlist Keeper, Germany |
    | C 3:640/1321 The File Bank BBS!, Cairns Qld |
    | -- marked |
    | -- other |
    | -- all |


    ...but I want to DELETE them.

    When I press "E" as per the online help:

    | Pressing "E" allows you to edit the entry for the |
    | selected box, or delete the entry. |


    I get this:


    +-----------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Nodelist says: No requests at this BBS. Try requesting, anyway? |
    | |
    | ? Yes ? No | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+

    I don't get any option to delete.

    Is there a way to delete the relevant crash/request files manually?
    I noticed a couple of .REQ files, and deleted those - but I still get the listing above.

    I've replied to this in the support newsgroup.

    YES, thanks. And the key action was the Re-Org that actually deletes
    the .REQ files even though the Crash is nolonger listed in the queue
    display.
